Pear Pudding

Ingredients:

• 3 cups milk
• 1/2 cup + 1 TB cream of rice or cream of wheat
• pinch salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ginger, or 1/8 tsp ground ginger
• 1/3 cup shredded coconut (optional)
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 5 pears (Bartlett, D' Anjou, Bosc or Comice)

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Measure all ingredients. Peel and slice the pears into a baking dish and set aside. Heat the milk almost to a simmer. Slowly add cream of rice or wheat, whisking as you add. Add salt and ginger, and coconut if desired. Simmer on low heat for about 2 minutes. Stir in the maple syrup and pour the mixture over the pears, spreading to even it out, if necessary.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pears are tender.
